6.10. Obsolete Protocols

6.10. Obsolete Protocols

Some of the protocols listed in this memo are described in RFCs that
are obsoleted by newer RFCs. "Obsolete" or "obsoleted" is not an
official state or status of protocols. This subsection is for
information only.

While it may seem to be obviously wrong to have an obsoleted RFC in
the list of standards, there may be cases when an older standard is
in the process of being replaced. This process may take a year or
two.

Many obsoleted protocols are of little interest and are dropped from
this memo altogether. Some obsoleted protocols have received enough
recognition that it seems appropriate to list them under their
current status and with the following reference to their current
replacement.
